통합적 접근방법에 의한 동작 프로그램의 효과 = The Effects of an Integrated Curriculum Type of Movement Acitivity Program on Physical Movement and Creative Thinking

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 통합적 접근방법에 의한 동작활동의 효과를 검증함으로써 동작 프로그램 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 동작활동의 구성은 교육내용인 동작의 기본요소, 기본동작 및 창의적 동작을 통합하여 구성하였으며. 동작활동의 전개방식에 있어서 움직임 익히기 단계에서는 신체적 접근방법을, 창의적 표현단계에서는 짧은 이야기나 동화를 통한 동기화를 포함하여 극적 접근방법에 중점을 두고 적용하였다. 전남 M지역의 S유치원 만5세 원아 32명을 연구대상으로 하였으며, 기본능력검사, 신체표현능력검사, 창의성 검사 도구에 의해 측정되었다. 연구결과 실험집단과 통제집단간에는 기본동작능력 및 신체표현능력에 있어서는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타났으나, 창의적 사고에는 두 집단간 차이가 나타나지 않았다.

This study examines the effects of a movement activity program based on Integrated Curriculum tenet and addresses the following questions: 1. Do movement activities based on integrated curriculum approaches affect young children's basic movement abilities? 2. Do such movement activities affect young children's creative physical expression abilities? 3. Do such movement activities affect young children's creative thinking abilities? The subjects of this study were 32 five-year-old children attending a private kindergarten in Mokpo city. Subjects were divided into a control group (15 children), and an experimental group(17 children). The research instruments employed were: The Basic Movement Ability Test by Kim, E. S. (1994) adapted from Hoffman et. al, a test to determine physical expression ability, invented by Bae, H. S. (1990) based on Laban's concept of movement, and form B of Torrance's Creative Thinking Tests. The experimental procedure was of six-weeks duration and each child was video taped during that phase. Also, each group was video taped in the pre-and post-test phase, and each child's spontaneous activities were analyzed. Data were then analyzed by ANCOVA. The results: after the movement activity program, 1) children's basic movement ability showed a significant statistical difference; 2) their physical expression ability also increased by a significant statistical difference; 3) however, there was no significant statistical difference in their creative thinking ability. Because statistically different gains were demonstrated in two of the three areas examined, movement ability and expression, we conclude that it is desirable to include movement activity programs in various sections of the early childhood curriculum.
